Marco Island Vacation Highlights

The Sanibel Historical Village & Museum includes a display about the Calusa tribal era, photos exhibits from pioneer days and the 1913 vintage Rutland home.

Also included is a 1926 version of Bailey's General Store,  the post office and Miss Charlotta's Tea Room.

The Sanibel Lighthouse has marked the entrance to San Carlos Bay since 1884, and lighthouse keepers lived in the cottages at the base of the tower. The grounds and beach area are open to visitors.

Sanibel is heaven for cyclists, walkers, joggers and skaters with paved cycle paths running adjacent most major roads, including the entire length of Periwinkle Way and along Sanibel-Captiva Road to Blind Pass. 

Boating and fishing are major attractions on both Sanibel and Captiva with options for rental boats and chartered excursions.
